How to successfully print on transparencies using a HP OfficeJet 4655

[Nana661]

Trying to print on transperency film but the ink never dries and once printed the ink pulls into it's self becoming little balls or blobs of colored ink. Have used photo glossy setting but that is all it will let me choose. Is there a way to fix this?

I cannot find any indication that "transparency" paper is supported.

The only "fix" is to use supported Media types (kind of paper).
